[... Literal fire flowers, Silver. Flowers made of fire. They've got the general shape of Gracideas and they're helping to melt what ice there is, since the lava's cooling back down.]

Honestly? Not sure where to begin. I mean, a ton's happened, right? What's your best memory?

[Good one? Who knows. C'mon, he's dragging Silver away from the... mess... oh god, Milla's gonna kill them.]

Becauuuuse it might be your last, lookin' at this place.

[feistytrader]

[Hahaha ha Milla's totally going to kill them. Or ask what the hell happened, at least.]

When Milla and I first met, she didn't think you could reason with monsters. So I bet that I could calm one down without killing it, and if I won, she had to take care of feeding me for as long as I was here.

[Naturally, he won that bet.]

That bird should still be in the mountains, if you ever want to meet her. There was the time we took care of all the giant rock bugs, too. And the flower festival is always nice. You just missed it, but maybe we can go together next year.

[...Actual gracideas are starting to show up as well. Which is good, because... We're supposed to be appreciating, not giving Aiada more problems.]

[uncouthhatcher]

["Teenage boy problems" will solve everything, probably.

Also of course he won. It's Silver!]

A flower festival? No thanks, sounds girly. I'll totally meet your bird friend though.

[feistytrader]

The flower festival is great. Just because you can't appreciate flowers doesn't mean that it's just for girls.

[uncouthhatcher]

[.................. wait]

That's where you got your girlfriend! On second thought, I'll totally go with you next year, dude!

[feistytrader]

...I'd give you advice, but I've got no idea why she decided she likes me.

[So uh. Good luck getting a girlfriend, buddy.]

Maybe Crys will let you take her if you ask nicely.

[uncouthhatcher]

[WELL

THAT SURE IS SOMETHING HE IS IGNORING.]

You never thought to ask?

[feistytrader]

...Not really. If she likes me, she likes me.

[Shrug--!]

[uncouthhatcher]

[silver......... buddy........... he'd put an arm around your shoulder but his good arm is his right one and that would go onto your bad shoulder so they're a pair of fuckin winners today]

You can't be serious. Ask her! See what she says!

[Get fuckin embarrassed by it.]

[feistytrader]

...It's okay. I don't want to know.

[White would absolutely embarrass the shit out of him.]

Did you ever figure out where you're taking your date?

[uncouthhatcher]

[She would. She would and she'd take the greatest pleasure in it..]

I think I'm gonna take her to the lake this weekend? Maybe, eh, by the docks. They're not that bad and if she ends up liking swimming then that'll be nice. I'm gonna buy some tea and cake for us.

[He's all confidence now but just wait until the day of.]

[feistytrader]

...Do you need money?

[Gold you just got here do you even have enough money for tea and cake-]

[uncouthhatcher]

[HE HAS

SOME AMOUNT OF MONEY

BUT SOMETHING TELLS HIM HE'S GONNA BE PAYING MILLA IT.]

Could probably use a little. It's weird that you're the one who's got it between us.

[Seeing as he's the wealthy one between them, even if Crys is The Richest, probably.]

[feistytrader]

The beastmaster hunting guild sucks, but they pay well. You don't always have to kill the creatures to get your reward.

I've also been paid to take a piano and sleep on beds.

[It's so easy to get rich quick, Gold. But he heads back to their door and heads inside.]

Come on.

[uncouthhatcher]

[He'll follow, of course. Pibu needs a proper place to sleep anyway.]

Why'd you get paid to take the piano? Don't you usually gotta pay for it?

[feistytrader]

[It's up the stairs and to Silver's room! This might just be Gold's first time seeing Silver's room. he probably took him to the spare right away.]

It was angry, and would bite you if you played it while angry. It needed someone calm to play it. Now it's really calming to everyone else whenever it's played.

[He did that with his emotions. ...Sure, he probably couldn't do that again, but the point is that he did.

His room is a god damn jungle; there isn't much in it and what's in it is well organized, but there are... Berry plants? Those look like berry plants, and they're growing absolutely everywhere. His room looks more like a forest than a bedroom. A few look a little sad from his less than happy emotional state, but he doesn't spend enough time in his room to completely massacre his berries. But that's not the important part right now... Unless Gold wants to pop a Cheri berry in his mouth or something.

The important part is the floorboards under his bed, which he pries open, reaches into, and pulls out a huge sack; he opens up said sack, scoops up a handful of sylvs, and offers them over to Gold.

...Okay no seriously, he's handing Gold something like three thousand sylvs like it's god damn chump change.]

That should be enough, right?

[uncouthhatcher]

[He def took the spare right away.

... The fuck's all this. There's so many plants and -- berry plants? He's totally taking a Cheri berry, shit du

oooooooooh my gooooooooooddddddddd

holy shit???]

What the hell dude?

[feistytrader]

...What, this?

[He holds up the god damn money sack.]

I don't know what to do with it, so I keep it here.

[...He's pushing it back under the floorboards now.]

You can take some whenever you want.

[uncouthhatcher]

You-- There's not banks here or somethin'?

[... That said this really is like, Gold's allowance back home, so it's easy enough to take it but goddamn, dude.]

You're gonna get stolen from.

[feistytrader]

...Milla, Ludger, you, and me live here, and Milly sleeps outside.

[Gold this house is safe as shit.]

I don't trust banks.

[uncouthhatcher]

[... Yeah, yeah. Milly is in fact the one who sleeps outside, she's pretty cute.]

Banks give you more money back if you put money in.

[feistytrader]

...How much money?

[uncouthhatcher]

Depends on the interest rate. The more you put in, the bigger your return is, so stick like half of what you've got in savings and check back in half a year.

[Worry not, Silver, one of you knows how banks work for the sole purpose of More Money.]

I'd say you'd have enough money to propose to your girl by then, but I'll bet you've got enough right now.

[feistytrader]

...I'd rather keep it here.

[What if the banks fuck up, Gold. What then.]

You can put your money in a bank if you want. I'm sure you'll make plenty.

[uncouthhatcher]

[The bank won't fuck up.

... But something might fuck the bank up.]

You know what?

I think I'll just do what you do. This place has got a lotta problems.

[Excuse him, another Cheri berry down the hatch, don't mind if he makes himself at home on your bed, buddy, Pibu's taking your pillow too.]

So how'd you get these plants here, anyway? It's nice havin' something familiar.
